It Took A Song Lyrics by Sam Salter

It’s On Tonight

1997

[Verse 1]
Every song on the radio
Seems like it's talking about me
A message from another voice
Telling me I made the wrong choice, oh no
I close my eyes and shed a tear
The music makes me with you were here
Girl, since I let my baby go
I know I made a mistake
[Chorus]
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me miss you
[Verse 2]
The silence of a melody
It game me time to see
See just how wrong I've been
Please come back
Before this song ends
Now I am the lonely one
And you are the reason
Girl I know I was wrong
And I heard it in a song
[Chorus]
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me miss you
[Bridge]
Now all I ask for
Is all over again
Will I ever hear (will I ever hear)
Your melody (your melody)
And your song again
It's been so long (so long)
Baby come back home (baby come back home)
I know I was wrong
[Chorus]
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me miss you
Tell me why
[Chorus]
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me miss you
[Break]
I don't know why (I don't know why)
See I was a fool (I was a fool, oh baby yeah)
See I don't know why
I let my baby go (lady)
I don't know why (tell me why)
See I was a fool (oh so sorry babe)
See I don't know why (yes I am)
I let my baby go (baby)
[Repeat til fade]
Cause it took a song
To make me understand
It took a song
To make me be a man
It took a song
To make me understand
